Hopefully you were able to attend Baylor University’s 100th year homecoming event this past weekend in Waco, TX. Thousands participated and attended the parade. BSNA proudly represented Louise Herrington School of Nursing in the parade and by selling sweatshirts on-site.

Thank you to everyone who participated in making this a wonderful event!! Go Baylor!!

BSNA proudly supported LHSON Centennial Celebration by vending at one of the tables at the event. BSNA introduced speakers, assisted setting up the event, and sold Baylor Nursing shirts and mugs. We were able to meet many past nursing students and discuss future opportunities. What a wonderful weekend.

We have a winner of the Sweatshirt design contest!! The winner will receive a $50.00 Visa Gift Card for their submission and their design will be used for this year’s homecoming sweatshirt. We will keep you posted on the availability of the sweatshirts.

Members of the Baylor Parent’s League and BSNA congregated outside of the Central Market in Southlake to lend a helping hand to over sixty members of the community! BSNA nursing students administered blood pressure checks and blood glucose readings for voluntary participants. Education materials provided included ‘Risks for Stroke’ and diabetes materials from the American Diabetes Association. Mrs. Bonnie Savoldi, BSNA advisor, presented information on ‘the Swine flu’ and Sara Lewis, BSNA publicity chair, presented on ‘Diabetes’ in the Central Market conference room to community members and leaders. The day was a success! Once again BSNA and the Baylor Parent’s League have provided primary prevention to a local community members.
